On being the daughter of a jealous mother…

SuzanStMaur — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:00:35 +0000

Pin It For more than 40 years I believed I was a huge disappointment to my late mother and have suffered poor self-esteem and depression from that all my life. It’s only now that I’ve explored the subject, thanks to the internet, that I realise it was sheer jealousy on her part – and that [...]

Pin It It’s nothing personal you understand… all the flowers and chocolates and cutesy gifts do wonders for small and large businesses the globe over… but… I don’t have one and I am not one… and it is just a horrendous reminder of losing my mum when she was just 49 with thanks to The [...]

Pin It Teenage girl talk We gathered on the top terrace of our friend’s house where we can see our house too. Young girls giggling, exchanging myths and facts. Discussing boys and beauty. Sameerah said “oh come closer girls, I must tell you my new discovery…” We all rushed round her whilst we were all [...]

Primary issues

Special Guest — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 13:00:36 +0000

Pin It As a working mum, I have felt extremely lucky to have had an employer who was flexible enough to offer me school hours (and term time only, which has been an incredible blessing). However, all that is likely to change soon due to my office relocating to the North East. This got me [...]

The most rewarding job in the world

Lynn Tulip — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:00:56 +0000

And a job for life? Would you apply for a role that had no real prospects, limited financial rewards and was a lifelong commitment full of daily challenges? In addition, you’d be on call 24/7 and need excellent planning, prioritising and organisational skills, the ability to work flexibly and communicate, negotiate and probably resolve conflict [...]

Special Guest — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:00:18 +0000

When I was pondering a possible subject for this blog, I found it very difficult to think of anything that wasn’t apocalyptic in nature.
